I've uploaded a new 7.6.6 version to the mentors site with a fix for this issue

https://mentors.debian.net/package/libgrokj2k/

I see there isn't a soft freeze until Feb 12, so hopefully this can be migrated before that deadline.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for uploading! One odd thing: it looks like

https://mentors.debian.net/package/libgrokj2k/

is no more: I can no longer view the page.

Cheers,

Aaron

Dear Mentors,

Last night I discovered a severe bug in my encoder. The bug affects lossy

compression of monochrome images, a very large class of images. The bug

causes the output pixels to be set to 0, which is pretty serious.

I realize there is a freeze on new packages leading up to Bullseye release, but

is there a way of getting a new version in somehow? I wouldn't want the current

version to be released.

Thanks very much,

Aaron
